Welcome to learning the English daily 30
minute program from the Voice of America
00:30:15
I'm Jonathan Evans and I'm Ashley Thomson
this program is aimed at English learners
00:30:22
so we speak
00:30:23
a little slower and we use words and phrases
especially written for people learning
00:30:30
English. Today on the
00:30:36
program you will hear from Alice Bryant
later we will present our American history
00:30:42
series The Making of
00:30:44
a nation. But 1st. People
who survived cancer or
00:30:51
during childhood and early adulthood
are more likely to experience severe
00:30:57
life threatening health problems
later on in life. And in fact many
00:31:04
of the survivors die before other
people the same age those are
00:31:11
fine Danes from a recent study
00:31:15
a report on the study was published
this month and the Lancet Oncology.
00:31:22
Researchers followed almost 12000
young cancer survivors and
00:31:29
about 5000 of their
siblings for about 20 years
00:31:36
all of these relatives were said
to be in good health the cancer
00:31:42
survivors were free of the disease for
at least 5 years at the start of the
00:31:49
study yet they were still about
6 times more likely to die
00:31:55
during the follow up period than their
siblings Tara Henderson was the lead
00:32:02
writer of the report she noted before 968
00:32:09
cancer before the age of 21 years
was uniformly fatal and currently
00:32:16
about 83 percent of anyone diagnosed
with cancer before the age of 21
00:32:22
years can be cured Anderson
is director of cancer
00:32:28
survivorship at the University of
Chicago's Comprehensive Cancer Center
00:32:36
she said that doctors need to put more
effort into learning the long term side
00:32:42
effects of cancer treatment the
Reuters News Agency reported her
00:32:48
comments better survival chances
also mean children may have
00:32:55
a higher risk of developing
health problems as
00:32:59
a result of tumors or cancer
treatments the problems include
00:33:06
heart disease old cancers
returning or possible new cancers
00:33:13
many doctors turn to chemotherapy
to treat cancer patients. They
00:33:20
use drugs to stop the growth of cancer
cells either by killing the cells or by
00:33:27
stopping them from dividing yet to
chemotherapy can weaken the heart muscle
00:33:34
and some newer targeted medicines
encrease the risk of heart failure
00:33:41
so says the American Heart Association
the group also notes that
00:33:48
radiation can cause heart rhythm disorders
and structural damage in blood vessels
00:33:55
and heart valves by age 4556 percent
00:34:02
of the childhood cancer survivors
diagnosed with the disease before age 15
00:34:08
had developed severe health
problems that compares with
00:34:15
39 percent of survivors diagnosed while
growing up or in early adulthood
00:34:22
and 12 percent of siblings
without any history of cancer
00:34:29
death rates were also higher for cancer
survivors diagnosed during childhood than
00:34:36
for those diagnosed during
adolescence or early adulthood
00:34:42
However survivors of childhood cancer
were less likely to die from returning
00:34:49
tumors than survivors who were diagnosed
00:34:53
a little later researchers followed
people diagnosed with cancer
00:34:59
between 197-1999 they found that it is
00:35:06
possible that long term results might
be better for people diagnosed today
00:35:13
because of better treatments. The
researchers said that is partly because of
00:35:20
changes designed to improve survival
chances and decrease the risk of
00:35:26
severe treatment related health
problems one limitation of the study
00:35:33
is that researchers lacked information
on 3 kinds of cancer tumors in the
00:35:40
gonads thyroid and scan
those 3 make up about
00:35:47
40 percent of cancers discovered
and 15 to 20 year olds.
00:35:54
The Lahti Maki is a doctor with
00:35:56
a tour through university in Finland and
the Carolyn sky Institute in Stockholm
00:36:02
Sweden she noted that some cancer
related complications do not
00:36:08
become apparent until several years
following cancer treatment in an
00:36:15
e-mail to Reuters she urged
cancer patients to adopt
00:36:20
a healthy lifestyle to help make severe
or life threatening medical issues less
00:36:26
likely to develop She added
that patients can do
00:36:32
a number of things including
exercising eating well not smoking and
00:36:39
keeping
00:36:40
a healthy body weight. Amy

Melendez was any supermarket and Maryland
with friends when it happened to her.
00:37:18
She had ordered one of her favorite drinks
00:37:21
a corn based beverage from
Central America called
00:37:26
a tollway she began to
drink her a tollway when
00:37:31
a man nearby asked if it was good but
the man was using casual language
00:37:38
and Melendez did not understand his
question so she said I don't know
00:37:46
the man then asked how it was possible
for her not to know how the drink was
00:37:53
that's when the laughter began the
man laughed her friends laughed Amy
00:37:59
Melendez felt
00:38:01
a little foolish her spoken exchange
with the man was entirely in
00:38:07
Spanish Melendez is
00:38:11
a Spanish learner but she is
also an English language teacher
00:38:18
now she supervises English and
service worker training programs at
00:38:25
3 to b.j.
00:38:27
In Maryland Melinda's has shared
the supermarket story with
00:38:34
many of her students she wants them to
know she can relate to the challenges of
00:38:41
learning
00:38:41
a language being laughed at or joked
about can happen no matter what
00:38:48
language you are learning and it may
make some learners nervous about
00:38:55
speaking their new language However
experts say there are ways to
00:39:02
overcome those feelings so on
education tips today we offer
00:39:08
suggestions from
00:39:09
a few teachers but 1st let's
explore why some people laugh.
00:39:17
Winter Oshie Bayrou teaches
English in Washington d.c.
00:39:22
And Maryland including for the International
Center for language studies and
00:39:29
a nonprofit group called Paper
airplanes She says most people
00:39:36
who laugh are not trying to
be mean or hurtful instead
00:39:42
a language learners pronunciation or way
of putting words together may sound
00:39:49
unusual to some native speakers
and can take them by surprise
00:39:56
and they're not thinking about how it might
make other individuals feel learning
00:40:02
the language it's just the natural instinct
when you hear something that sound
00:40:06
a little bit different than what you would
expect to hear or how you would expect
00:40:10
to hear it if the way you say
something sounds different or unusual
00:40:17
to
00:40:17
a native speaker that person may not have
had much contact with foreigners Josh
00:40:25
Plotkin is an American living
in Brazil he has been fluent in
00:40:31
Portuguese for years he operates
00:40:35
a website called Brazilian gringo dot com
which teaches foreigners how to live in
00:40:42
Brazil and improve their spoken
Portuguese on his website Plotkin
00:40:49
notes that some Brazilians who have little
contact with foreigners laugh at him
00:40:55
because they aren't used to hearing an
American speaking Portuguese he notes
00:41:02
similar experiences when traveling and
other countries and trying to speak their
00:41:09
languages. But whether the reason is
lack of contact or something else
00:41:16
we have tips for overcoming the
fear of using your English the
00:41:23
1st suggestion is to relax
and be patient with yourself
00:41:28
a piece of advice from Oshie
Bayrou she says to remind yourself
00:41:35
that you are learning the language
so it is normal to make mistakes she
00:41:42
advises not to be too hard on yourself I
think sometimes the best thing to do is
00:41:49
just smile to breathe and relax
and try not to take your laughter
00:41:56
thank you from them learning the language
or immersion yourself in the language
00:42:01
Oshie Bayrou also suggests learners avoid
setting learning goals that are too
00:42:08
strict which can sometimes become
00:42:11
a barrier rather than help other
experts note that people who make
00:42:18
jokes or laugh may not have studied
00:42:21
a 2nd language this is yet another
reason not to judge yourself by
00:42:28
the reactions of others
Plotkin warns against
00:42:35
worrying that people are
thinking you look like
00:42:39
a full trying to speak our language
ideas like these can hurt your
00:42:45
progress and be
00:42:47
a barrier to fluency The 2nd tip
is to practice your speaking
00:42:53
skills both Melendez and
Oshie Bayrou say practice
00:43:00
is one of the best ways to
deal with fear Melendez
00:43:07
suggests doing role plays. In
00:43:11
a role play 2 or more people
act out an imaginary situation
00:43:18
for example going to a
market or talking to
00:43:22
a bus driver if you know
there's a new situation in
00:43:27
a situation you may not feel comfortable
in what are the phrases you might need
00:43:31
what are the words is there someone you can
practice with but definitely just going
00:43:36
through those role plays will help you
overcome the fear you can imagine for
00:43:41
example your friend is
a bus driver you have
00:43:46
a lot of questions about taking the bus
you can practice the questions on your
00:43:52
friend Melinda says if
you are unable to find
00:43:57
a practice partner you can practice
in your head or you can talk out loud
00:44:05
Oshie Bayrou says Another solution is
to record your voice as you train by
00:44:11
yourself that way you can listen
for mistakes whether in your
00:44:18
wording or pronunciation and
correct them. Our 3rd tip is
00:44:25
don't be afraid to ask questions if you
are worried about what to do in the
00:44:32
moment when someone makes
00:44:34
a joke the solution can be simple kindly
ask the person the reason for the
00:44:41
laughter like this says
Melendez you know is there
00:44:46
a different way that I could have said it
or how would you usually say it she said
00:44:52
the issue could be something very
simple then once you know the issue
00:44:59
you can bring the information
to a trusted person such as
00:45:03
a friend or practice partner and ask
them to help you correct it. The
00:45:10
4th and final tip is to keep
a sense of humor keeping
00:45:16
a sense of humor can make the
long process of learning
00:45:20
a language more fun you might even laugh
with the person who is laughing or
00:45:27
making the joke This may feel
strange at 1st but gets easier with
00:45:34
time just Plotkin notes
but over time he has come
00:45:41
to understand that being laughed at
when speaking a foreign language is not
00:45:47
a bad thing he has learned not to
take it personally these days he
00:45:54
even laughs along with
the people using it as
00:45:59
a way to make new friends
I'm Alice Bryant.
00:46:16
Welcome to the making of
00:46:18
a nation American history in Vo
way special English I'm Barbara
00:46:25
Kline And I'm Steve Amber the
stock market crash of 1929
00:46:32
marked the beginning of the worst economic
crisis in American history millions of
00:46:39
people lost their jobs thousands
lost their homes during the next
00:46:45
several years
00:46:46
a large part of the richest nation on
earth learned what it meant to be poor
00:46:54
workers lost their jobs as factories
closed business owners lost their
00:47:01
stores and sometimes their homes
farmers lost their land as they
00:47:08
struggled with falling prices
and natural disasters. And
00:47:14
Americans were not the
only ones who suffered.
00:47:29
One of America's greatest writers John
Steinbeck described the depression this
00:47:36
way it was
00:47:38
a terrible troubled time I
can't think of any 10 years in
00:47:44
history when so much happened
in so many directions violent
00:47:51
change took place our country
was shaped our lives changed
00:47:58
our government rebuilt
Steinbeck winner of the
00:48:03
1962 Nobel Prize in Literature
said when the market fell
00:48:10
the factories mines and steel works
closed and then no one could buy
00:48:17
anything not even food. And the
00:48:23
unemployed auto worker and Detroit
Michigan described the situation this way
00:48:30
before daylight we were on the way to the
Chevrolet factory to look for work the
00:48:37
police were already there waving us away
from the office they were saying nothing
00:48:43
doing no jobs no jobs so
now we were walking slowly
00:48:50
through the falling snow to the employment
office for the dog auto company
00:48:56
a big well fed man and I have over
called Stuart at the door no no he
00:49:03
said there was no work. One
Texas farmer lost his farm
00:49:10
and moved his family to California.
We can't show the children to
00:49:17
school. Because they have no clothes.
00:49:57
The economic crisis began with the
stock market crash in October
00:50:03
1929 for the 1st year
the economy fell very
00:50:10
slowly but it dropped sharply in
00:50:14
19319325 the end of
00:50:20
1932 the economy collapsed
almost completely during
00:50:27
the 3 years following the stock market
crash the value of goods and services
00:50:33
produced in America fell by almost
half the wealth of the average
00:50:40
American and dropped to
00:50:42
a level lower than it had
been 25 years earlier all the
00:50:48
gains of the 1920 s were
washed away. Unemployment rose
00:50:55
sharply the number of workers looking for
00:50:58
a job jumped from 3 percent to
more than 25 percent in just 4
00:51:05
years one of every 3 or 4
workers was looking for
00:51:11
a job in 1932 vans employment numbers
00:51:18
did not include farmers the men and
women who grew the nation's food
00:51:25
suffered terribly during the Great
Depression This was especially true in 2
00:51:31
states Oklahoma and Texas farmers
there were losing money because of
00:51:38
falling prices for their crops
then natural disasters struck
00:51:45
year after year little or no
rain fell the ground dried up
00:51:52
and then the wind blew away the earth
in the huge clouds of dust. All
00:51:59
that dust made some of the farmers leave
one Oklahoma farm I remembered later but
00:52:06
my family stayed we fought to live
despite all the dust then the wind and
00:52:13
we were planting seeds but we
got no crops we had 5 crop
00:52:20
failures in 5 years.
00:52:34
Falling production rising unemployment
and then begging in the streets
00:52:41
but there was more to the Great Depression
at that time the federal government did
00:52:48
not guarantee the money that people
put in banks when people could not
00:52:54
repay loans banks began to close in
00:53:00
192-9659 banks with total holdings of
00:53:06
$200000000.00 went out of
business the next year 2
00:53:13
times that number failed and the year
after that almost twice that number
00:53:20
of banks went out of business millions
of people lost all their savings
00:53:27
they had no money left the depression
caused serious public health
00:53:34
problems hospitals across the country
were filled with sick people whose main
00:53:41
illness was
00:53:42
a lack of food the health department
in New York City found that one of
00:53:49
every 5 of the city's children
did not get enough food.
00:53:55
99 percent of the children
attending a school in
00:53:59
a coal mining area of the country
reportedly were underweight in some
00:54:06
places people died of hunger.
00:54:21
Games. But. The
00:54:28
quality of housing also failed families
were forced to crowd into small
00:54:35
houses or apartments to share
costs many people had no
00:54:42
homes at all they slept on
public streets buses or trains
00:54:49
one official Lynch or Congo reported
the end 1931 that several 100 women
00:54:56
without homes were
sleeping in city parks. In
00:55:01
a number of cities people without homes
built their houses from what ever
00:55:07
materials they could find they used
empty boxes or pieces of metal
00:55:14
to build shelters in the open areas.
00:55:24
People called these aerials of
little temporary houses Hoovervilles
00:55:30
they blamed President
Hoover for their situation.
00:55:39
Parks at night they covered themselves
with pieces of paper and they
00:55:45
called the paper who blanket's
people without their pants called
00:55:52
their empty pockets who flags
people blamed President
00:55:59
because they thought he was not doing
enough to help them Hoover did take several
00:56:06
actions to try to improve the economy
but he resisted proposals for the
00:56:13
federal government to
provide. And he refused to
00:56:20
let the government spend then it earned.
00:56:26
Economic depression cannot be cured by
legislative action or executive decision.
00:56:35
Many conservative Americans agreed with
him but not the millions of Americans
00:56:41
who were hungry and tired of looking for
00:56:45
a job they accused Hoover of not
caring about common citizens
00:56:52
one congressman from Alabama
said in the White House we have
00:56:57
a man more interested in the money of the
rich than in the stomachs of the poor.
00:57:16
And Great Depression continues of
course some Americans were lucky they
00:57:23
kept their jobs and they had enough
money to enjoy the lower prices of
00:57:29
most goods many people shared their
earnings with friends in need
00:57:37
years later John Steinbeck wrote it
seems odd now to say that we rarely
00:57:44
have
00:57:44
a job there just weren't any jobs
but he continued given the sea
00:57:51
and the gardens we did pretty well with
00:57:54
a minimum of theft we didn't have
to steal much farmers could not
00:58:01
sell their crops he explained so they
gave away all the fruit and vegetables
00:58:08
that people could carry home
other Americans we acted to the
00:58:15
crisis by leading protests against
the economic policies of the Hoover
00:58:21
administration in 1932
00:58:25
a large group of former soldiers
gathered in Washington to demand help.
00:58:33
More than 8000 of them built the nation's
largest Hooverville near the White
00:58:39
House federal troops finally
remove them by force and burning
00:58:46
their shelters. One by better run

Welcome to learning the English daily 30
minute program from the Voice of America
00:30:15
I'm Jonathan Evans and I'm Ashley Thomson
this program is aimed at English learners
00:30:22
so we speak
00:30:23
a little slower and we use words and phrases
especially written for people learning
00:30:30
English. Today on the
00:30:36
program you will hear from Alice Bryant
later we will present our American history
00:30:42
series The Making of
00:30:44
a nation. But 1st. People
who survived cancer or
00:30:51
during childhood and early adulthood
are more likely to experience severe
00:30:57
life threatening health problems
later on in life. And in fact many
00:31:04
of the survivors die before other
people the same age those are
00:31:11
fine Danes from a recent study
00:31:15
a report on the study was published
this month and the Lancet Oncology.
00:31:22
Researchers followed almost 12000
young cancer survivors and
00:31:29
about 5000 of their
siblings for about 20 years
00:31:36
all of these relatives were said
to be in good health the cancer
00:31:42
survivors were free of the disease for
at least 5 years at the start of the
00:31:49
study yet they were still about
6 times more likely to die
00:31:55
during the follow up period than their
siblings Tara Henderson was the lead
00:32:02
writer of the report she noted before 968
00:32:09
cancer before the age of 21 years
was uniformly fatal and currently
00:32:16
about 83 percent of anyone diagnosed
with cancer before the age of 21
00:32:22
years can be cured Anderson
is director of cancer
00:32:28
survivorship at the University of
Chicago's Comprehensive Cancer Center
00:32:36
she said that doctors need to put more
effort into learning the long term side
00:32:42
effects of cancer treatment the
Reuters News Agency reported her
00:32:48
comments better survival chances
also mean children may have
00:32:55
a higher risk of developing
health problems as
00:32:59
a result of tumors or cancer
treatments the problems include
00:33:06
heart disease old cancers
returning or possible new cancers
00:33:13
many doctors turn to chemotherapy
to treat cancer patients. They
00:33:20
use drugs to stop the growth of cancer
cells either by killing the cells or by
00:33:27
stopping them from dividing yet to
chemotherapy can weaken the heart muscle
00:33:34
and some newer targeted medicines
encrease the risk of heart failure
00:33:41
so says the American Heart Association
the group also notes that
00:33:48
radiation can cause heart rhythm disorders
and structural damage in blood vessels
00:33:55
and heart valves by age 4556 percent
00:34:02
of the childhood cancer survivors
diagnosed with the disease before age 15
00:34:08
had developed severe health
problems that compares with
00:34:15
39 percent of survivors diagnosed while
growing up or in early adulthood
00:34:22
and 12 percent of siblings
without any history of cancer
00:34:29
death rates were also higher for cancer
survivors diagnosed during childhood than
00:34:36
for those diagnosed during
adolescence or early adulthood
00:34:42
However survivors of childhood cancer
were less likely to die from returning
00:34:49
tumors than survivors who were diagnosed
00:34:53
a little later researchers followed
people diagnosed with cancer
00:34:59
between 197-1999 they found that it is
00:35:06
possible that long term results might
be better for people diagnosed today
00:35:13
because of better treatments. The
researchers said that is partly because of
00:35:20
changes designed to improve survival
chances and decrease the risk of
00:35:26
severe treatment related health
problems one limitation of the study
00:35:33
is that researchers lacked information
on 3 kinds of cancer tumors in the
00:35:40

those 3 make up about
00:35:47
40 percent of cancers discovered
and 15 to 20 year olds.

00:36:02
Sweden she noted that some cancer
related complications do not
00:36:08
become apparent until several years
following cancer treatment in an
00:36:15
e-mail to Reuters she urged
cancer patients to adopt
00:36:20
a healthy lifestyle to help make severe
or life threatening medical issues less
00:36:26
likely to develop She added
that patients can do
00:36:32
a number of things including
exercising eating well not smoking and
00:36:39
keeping

Melendez was any supermarket and Maryland
with friends when it happened to her.
00:37:18
She had ordered one of her favorite drinks
00:37:21
a corn based beverage from
Central America called
00:37:26
a tollway she began to
drink her a tollway when
00:37:31
a man nearby asked if it was good but
the man was using casual language
00:37:38
and Melendez did not understand his
question so she said I don't know
00:37:46
the man then asked how it was possible
for her not to know how the drink was
00:37:53
that's when the laughter began the
man laughed her friends laughed Amy
00:37:59
Melendez felt
00:38:01
a little foolish her spoken exchange
with the man was entirely in
00:38:07
Spanish Melendez is
00:38:11
a Spanish learner but she is
also an English language teacher
00:38:18
now she supervises English and
service worker training programs at
00:38:25
3 to b.j.
00:38:27
In Maryland Melinda's has shared
the supermarket story with
00:38:34
many of her students she wants them to
know she can relate to the challenges of
00:38:41
learning
00:38:41
a language being laughed at or joked
about can happen no matter what
00:38:48
language you are learning and it may
make some learners nervous about
00:38:55
speaking their new language However
experts say there are ways to
00:39:02
overcome those feelings so on
education tips today we offer
00:39:08
suggestions from
00:39:09
a few teachers but 1st let's
explore why some people laugh.
00:39:17
Winter Oshie Bayrou teaches
English in Washington d.c.
00:39:22
And Maryland including for the International
Center for language studies and
00:39:29
a nonprofit group called Paper
airplanes She says most people
00:39:36
who laugh are not trying to
be mean or hurtful instead
00:39:42
a language learners pronunciation or way
of putting words together may sound
00:39:49
unusual to some native speakers
and can take them by surprise
00:39:56
and they're not thinking about how it might
make other individuals feel learning
00:40:02
the language it's just the natural instinct
when you hear something that sound
00:40:06
a little bit different than what you would
expect to hear or how you would expect
00:40:10
to hear it if the way you say
something sounds different or unusual
00:40:17
to
00:40:17
a native speaker that person may not have
had much contact with foreigners Josh
00:40:25
Plotkin is an American living
in Brazil he has been fluent in
00:40:31
Portuguese for years he operates
00:40:35
a website called Brazilian gringo dot com
which teaches foreigners how to live in
00:40:42
Brazil and improve their spoken
Portuguese on his website Plotkin
00:40:49
notes that some Brazilians who have little
contact with foreigners laugh at him
00:40:55
because they aren't used to hearing an
American speaking Portuguese he notes
00:41:02
similar experiences when traveling and
other countries and trying to speak their
00:41:09
languages. But whether the reason is
lack of contact or something else
00:41:16
we have tips for overcoming the
fear of using your English the
00:41:23
1st suggestion is to relax
and be patient with yourself
00:41:28
a piece of advice from Oshie
Bayrou she says to remind yourself
00:41:35
that you are learning the language
so it is normal to make mistakes she
00:41:42
advises not to be too hard on yourself I
think sometimes the best thing to do is
00:41:49
just smile to breathe and relax
and try not to take your laughter
00:41:56
thank you from them learning the language
or immersion yourself in the language
00:42:01
Oshie Bayrou also suggests learners avoid
setting learning goals that are too
00:42:08
strict which can sometimes become
00:42:11
a barrier rather than help other
experts note that people who make
00:42:18
jokes or laugh may not have studied
00:42:21
a 2nd language this is yet another
reason not to judge yourself by
00:42:28
the reactions of others
Plotkin warns against
00:42:35
worrying that people are
thinking you look like
00:42:39
a full trying to speak our language
ideas like these can hurt your
00:42:45
progress and be
00:42:47
a barrier to fluency The 2nd tip
is to practice your speaking
00:42:53
skills both Melendez and
Oshie Bayrou say practice
00:43:00
is one of the best ways to
deal with fear Melendez
00:43:07
suggests doing role plays. In
00:43:11
a role play 2 or more people
act out an imaginary situation
00:43:18
for example going to a
market or talking to
00:43:22
a bus driver if you know
there's a new situation in
00:43:27
a situation you may not feel comfortable
in what are the phrases you might need
00:43:31
what are the words is there someone you can
practice with but definitely just going
00:43:36
through those role plays will help you
overcome the fear you can imagine for
00:43:41
example your friend is
a bus driver you have
00:43:46
a lot of questions about taking the bus
you can practice the questions on your
00:43:52
friend Melinda says if
you are unable to find
00:43:57
a practice partner you can practice
in your head or you can talk out loud
00:44:05
Oshie Bayrou says Another solution is
to record your voice as you train by
00:44:11
yourself that way you can listen
for mistakes whether in your
00:44:18
wording or pronunciation and
correct them. Our 3rd tip is
00:44:25
don't be afraid to ask questions if you
are worried about what to do in the
00:44:32
moment when someone makes
00:44:34
a joke the solution can be simple kindly
ask the person the reason for the
00:44:41
laughter like this says
Melendez you know is there
00:44:46
a different way that I could have said it
or how would you usually say it she said
00:44:52
the issue could be something very
simple then once you know the issue
00:44:59
you can bring the information
to a trusted person such as
00:45:03
a friend or practice partner and ask
them to help you correct it. The
00:45:10
4th and final tip is to keep
a sense of humor keeping
00:45:16
a sense of humor can make the
long process of learning
00:45:20
a language more fun you might even laugh
with the person who is laughing or
00:45:27
making the joke This may feel
strange at 1st but gets easier with
00:45:34
time just Plotkin notes
but over time he has come
00:45:41
to understand that being laughed at
when speaking a foreign language is not
00:45:47
a bad thing he has learned not to
take it personally these days he
00:45:54
even laughs along with
the people using it as
00:45:59
a way to make new friends
I'm Alice Bryant.
00:46:16
Welcome to the making of
00:46:18
a nation American history in Vo
way special English I'm Barbara
00:46:25
Kline And I'm Steve Amber the
stock market crash of 1929
00:46:32
marked the beginning of the worst economic
crisis in American history millions of
00:46:39
people lost their jobs thousands
lost their homes during the next
00:46:45
several years
00:46:46
a large part of the richest nation on
earth learned what it meant to be poor
00:46:54
workers lost their jobs as factories
closed business owners lost their
00:47:01
stores and sometimes their homes
farmers lost their land as they
00:47:08
struggled with falling prices
and natural disasters. And
00:47:14
Americans were not the
only ones who suffered.
00:47:29
One of America's greatest writers John
Steinbeck described the depression this
00:47:36
way it was
00:47:38
a terrible troubled time I
can't think of any 10 years in
00:47:44
history when so much happened
in so many directions violent
00:47:51
change took place our country
was shaped our lives changed
00:47:58
our government rebuilt
Steinbeck winner of the
00:48:03
1962 Nobel Prize in Literature
said when the market fell
00:48:10
the factories mines and steel works
closed and then no one could buy
00:48:17
anything not even food. And the
00:48:23
unemployed auto worker and Detroit
Michigan described the situation this way
00:48:30
before daylight we were on the way to the
Chevrolet factory to look for work the
00:48:37
police were already there waving us away
from the office they were saying nothing
00:48:43
doing no jobs no jobs so
now we were walking slowly
00:48:50
through the falling snow to the employment
office for the dog auto company
00:48:56
a big well fed man and I have over
called Stuart at the door no no he
00:49:03
said there was no work. One
Texas farmer lost his farm
00:49:10
and moved his family to California.
We can't show the children to
00:49:17
school. Because they have no clothes.
00:49:57
The economic crisis began with the
stock market crash in October
00:50:03
1929 for the 1st year
the economy fell very
00:50:10
slowly but it dropped sharply in
00:50:14
19319325 the end of
00:50:20
1932 the economy collapsed
almost completely during
00:50:27
the 3 years following the stock market
crash the value of goods and services
00:50:33
produced in America fell by almost
half the wealth of the average
00:50:40
American and dropped to
00:50:42
a level lower than it had
been 25 years earlier all the
00:50:48
gains of the 1920 s were
washed away. Unemployment rose
00:50:55
sharply the number of workers looking for
00:50:58
a job jumped from 3 percent to
more than 25 percent in just 4
00:51:05
years one of every 3 or 4
workers was looking for
00:51:11
a job in 1932 vans employment numbers
00:51:18
did not include farmers the men and
women who grew the nation's food
00:51:25
suffered terribly during the Great
Depression This was especially true in 2
00:51:31
states Oklahoma and Texas farmers
there were losing money because of
00:51:38
falling prices for their crops
then natural disasters struck
00:51:45
year after year little or no
rain fell the ground dried up
00:51:52
and then the wind blew away the earth
in the huge clouds of dust. All
00:51:59
that dust made some of the farmers leave
one Oklahoma farm I remembered later but
00:52:06
my family stayed we fought to live
despite all the dust then the wind and
00:52:13
we were planting seeds but we
got no crops we had 5 crop
00:52:20
failures in 5 years.
00:52:34
Falling production rising unemployment
and then begging in the streets
00:52:41
but there was more to the Great Depression
at that time the federal government did
00:52:48
not guarantee the money that people
put in banks when people could not
00:52:54
repay loans banks began to close in
00:53:00
192-9659 banks with total holdings of
00:53:06
$200000000.00 went out of
business the next year 2
00:53:13
times that number failed and the year
after that almost twice that number
00:53:20
of banks went out of business millions
of people lost all their savings
00:53:27
they had no money left the depression
caused serious public health
00:53:34
problems hospitals across the country
were filled with sick people whose main
00:53:41
illness was
00:53:42
a lack of food the health department
in New York City found that one of
00:53:49
every 5 of the city's children
did not get enough food.
00:53:55
99 percent of the children
attending a school in
00:53:59
a coal mining area of the country
reportedly were underweight in some
00:54:06
places people died of hunger.
00:54:21
Games. But. The
00:54:28
quality of housing also failed families
were forced to crowd into small
00:54:35
houses or apartments to share
costs many people had no
00:54:42
homes at all they slept on
public streets buses or trains
00:54:49
one official Lynch or Congo reported
the end 1931 that several 100 women
00:54:56
without homes were
sleeping in city parks. In
00:55:01
a number of cities people without homes
built their houses from what ever
00:55:07
materials they could find they used
empty boxes or pieces of metal
00:55:14
to build shelters in the open areas.
00:55:24
People called these aerials of
little temporary houses Hoovervilles
00:55:30
they blamed President
Hoover for their situation.
00:55:39
Parks at night they covered themselves
with pieces of paper and they
00:55:45
called the paper who blanket's
people without their pants called
00:55:52
their empty pockets who flags
people blamed President
00:55:59
because they thought he was not doing
enough to help them Hoover did take several
00:56:06
actions to try to improve the economy
but he resisted proposals for the
00:56:13
federal government to
provide. And he refused to
00:56:20
let the government spend then it earned.
00:56:26
Economic depression cannot be cured by
legislative action or executive decision.
00:56:35
Many conservative Americans agreed with
him but not the millions of Americans
00:56:41
who were hungry and tired of looking for
00:56:45
a job they accused Hoover of not
caring about common citizens
00:56:52
one congressman from Alabama
said in the White House we have
00:56:57
a man more interested in the money of the
rich than in the stomachs of the poor.
00:57:16
And Great Depression continues of
course some Americans were lucky they
00:57:23
kept their jobs and they had enough
money to enjoy the lower prices of
00:57:29
most goods many people shared their
earnings with friends in need
00:57:37
years later John Steinbeck wrote it
seems odd now to say that we rarely
00:57:44
have
00:57:44
a job there just weren't any jobs
but he continued given the sea
00:57:51
and the gardens we did pretty well with
00:57:54
a minimum of theft we didn't have
to steal much farmers could not
00:58:01
sell their crops he explained so they
gave away all the fruit and vegetables
00:58:08
that people could carry home
other Americans we acted to the
00:58:15
crisis by leading protests against
the economic policies of the Hoover
00:58:21
administration in 1932
00:58:25
a large group of former soldiers
gathered in Washington to demand help.
00:58:33
More than 8000 of them built the nation's
largest Hooverville near the White
00:58:39
House federal troops finally
remove them by force and burning
00:58:46
their shelters. One by better run
